Doc came in this morning and looked upset, then just started spouting it out. " Nate, this one is very aggressive. I took out 5 times more than the pathologist said too and the tumor shows to be poorly differentiated. Were going through the MDA tumor board monday then go from there, more surgery may not be the answer but we will see what they say. Possibly more chemo and radiation but that may be so toxic it could kill you. Just hang tight and we will see you next week, you're being discharged friday." I guess the only good thing said was All nodes came back negative. Whomever feels like chiming in then please do, with tips , stories, encouragement etc. What does all this mean? He did say this type of cancer in 20 somethings is the hardest to kill. I was ALL CLEAR for 3 scans, now here I sit in my cubicle at the hospital just confused. He seemed so confident and now he looks defeated. I just want to be at home with my family, korinne and the dogs.

SCC left lateral tongue, left neck dissection. 2 nodes positive. 3 All Clear then ITS BACK 8/23/11 Shows 1cm in tongue in CT SCAN, Radial Free Arm Flap with Radical Neck Dissection 9/20/11 , All Nodes Negative, But Tongue Tumor Poorly Differentiated. Awaiting next step in treatment on 10/5/11... RIP Nate 7/28/12
